Tyersal are back in the West Riding County Amateur League relegation mix

For the third week running, the number of scheduled West Riding County Amateur League games was reduced by the grounds being saturated and, with water lying on top of many pitches, made the chances of any play impossible.

Tyersal who had eased their Premier Division relegation fears the previous week with a 5-1 home win over Halifax Irish, failed to move further away from demotion when their bottom-placed opponents Hall Green United, without a league win in their previous 14 games gave themselves a glimmer of avoiding the drop with a 2-1 victory.

Arron Gibson gave Tyersal a first-half advantage before Clinton Firth and Stephen Berry netted in the second half for the visitors.

Salts had to settle for a point at Halifax Irish after a 1-1 draw. Sam Waterhouse put Salts ahead in the first period before John Cullen converted a late penalty for the home side to deny Salts victory.

Campion’s unbeaten away from home tag was surrendered at second-placed Kirkburton when they were edged out by the odd goal in seven.

Danny Ingham, Damian Sykes, Daniel Morgan and a Campion own goal were on target for the home side, while Fabian Evans, with his first goal since transferring from Tyersal, Liam Charles and Terry Hargreaves netted for Campion.
